#OUGH THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN... TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE

[milekael]

Asking this one for any/all Street Cats OCs!! I want to learn more about their history... D) Have they always had the same physical appearance, or have you had to edit how they look?

OUUGH THANK U!! The thing about these OC's is that they are really old- some from back from 2015 even. Is when I was into Deviantart WC roleplay groups so is one of those things that like... The characters have changed, but I don't think there has ever been a super drastic change and more making them appeal more to my current design sensibilities.

Also, some of them are adopts- Like Laurel and Olive! So I feel a bit odd changing them. Although Olive has received several changed from her original so U know, but is one of those bits that is more... simplifying the design and keeping the colors and elements I really liked asdfdfgh

If I remember correctly, Laurel, Olive & Mathew are the designs I bought, while Belen, Frederick and Tania are the ones I designed!

(Laurel - Olive - Belen - Mathew - Frederick - Tania)

Then there is.... oh, source of my childhood cringe, this drawing I did with all the characters around that time (Btw, everyone in this picture is still a character in the current series- They were just moved to be secondaries lol)

THE POINT IS there is a lot of art from this time but really the designs themselves aren't too different, just my style, anatomy and how they dress lol

THEN around 2019 I believe? I was thinking on reviving them as warriors- Or at least just draw them for a bit in their original forms, where I made this!

This is the big design overhaul and pretty much all the designs stayed the same! The main changes being

A) Shapes, Laurel cannot be this square lol

B) Belen's white mane & Freddy's huh... hurt eye (I think I changed which one it is by accident and now I just roll with it lol)

Then in 2021, when I became set on developing them I made this group drawing!! Which is basically them now. The only prominent change after this is that with her new role & personality, I really wasn't vibing with Tania's design, so she is the final one I did an overhaul- Just trying to capture more of a conventional "racoon" look and make her colors more saturated!

AND THIS IS WHERE THEY ARE NOW!! YIPPEE <3

Help I was very fun to go back to the development of this group <3 again the designs themselves don't change A Lot is mostly them getting refined but ought they are such a delight <3

And well... for an interesting change... Olive does have an ALT version due to lore reasons that I designed on my own and it is very different to how she normally looks. I wonder what this is about...

a while back you mentioned reading old megaman rp blogs, and it reminded me of the rp groups i was a part of in the early 2000s. we had sites and forums and chat rooms dedicated to individual games, and we'd form teams and roleplay as specific robot masters or mavericks or navis, and i made so many friends and participated in so many fanfics and there was so much drama and it's all long gone now. some people died and some people got gay married and it was all a big part of my maturity into an adult. so thanks for reminding me of all that!

Ough wow! I hope it was a nice trip down memory lane...I've always found it to be so so fun finding how trends, characters and ships seem to pass through this fandom as time goes by.

It's pretty rare you get a chance to see a fandom so enduring!
